Solace is a healthcare advocacy marketplace that connects patients and families to experts who help them understand and take charge of their personal health

About the Role

As a Manager, FP&A at Solace, you’ll be one of the core operators of our financial planning engine. You will manage forecasting, reporting, and analysis that helps the company make smarter decisions faster. You’ll take messy inputs from across the business, turn them into a model and a narrative, and build the cadence that keeps leadership aligned on what’s happening, what’s changing, and what we’re doing about it.

You’re a self-starter who likes responsibility, learns fast, and enjoys being close to the work. You’ll partner cross-functionally, drive rigor without slowing teams down, and help scale FP&A.

This is an individual contributor role for the ambitious, the curious, and those who don’t shy away from feedback. This is a unique opportunity as an FP&A hire, with direct visibility to our CFO.

This job is a hybrid role with the in-office portion in Redwood City, CA, 3 days a week.

About Solace

Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions—and get better outcomes.

We're a Series B startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, and Signalfire. Our U.S. team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly.

Solace isn't a place to coast. We're here to redefine healthcare—and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you're looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you're in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.

What You’ll Do

Forecasting & Model Ownership: Maintain Solace’s operating model and forecasts across revenue, gross margin, headcount, and opex. Keep it accurate, explainable, and decision-ready.

Monthly Reporting & Variance Analysis: Own the monthly performance package. Make it clear what changed and why, and what actions we should take.

Planning Support: Play a central role in annual planning and reforecast cycles. Gather inputs, pressure-test assumptions, build scenarios, and keep timelines tight. You’ll be the person who makes sure planning actually ships.

KPI & Unit Economics: Track and analyze key metrics (retention, CAC payback, unit economics). Spot trends early, diagnose problems, and surface insights before they become surprises.

Cross-Functional Partnership: Work with leaders across Solace to translate initiatives into financial implications. Help teams build budgets that reflect reality and operating plans that match constraints.

Board & Investor Readiness: Support preparation of board materials and investor reporting. Turn analysis into a narrative that’s crisp, defensible, and aligned with the numbers.

Accounting Partnership: Partner with our internal accountants and outsourced accounting firm to ensure clean close-to-reporting workflows. Help connect the close to management reporting so nothing gets lost in translation.

Bring innovative ideas—and bring them to life.

Be autonomous. You’ll take ownership of your work, sweat details, and follow through. If something breaks, you fix it. Then you build it so it doesn’t break again.

What You Bring to the Table

A bias toward action and execution. You move fast, you finish, and you don’t need five meetings to do one thing.

Comfort with ambiguity and a refined palate for controlled chaos.

High analytical horsepower. You can live in spreadsheets, but you can also explain the output like a human.

Strong communication and cross-functional instincts. You know how to get inputs, align stakeholders, and land a recommendation without turning it into a debate club.

A high bar for accuracy and clean thinking. You’re allergic to hand-wavy math and “trust me” narratives.

No job too big or too small.

4+ years of relevant experience in FP&A, Strategic Finance, Investment Banking, Consulting, or a similarly rigorous environment—ideally with exposure to fast-growing businesses and cross-functional operating work.

Applicants must be based in the United States.

Up for the Challenge?

We look forward to meeting you.
